What do you do when you reach stardom and have enough money to spare? Open your own restaurant of course! Owning a restaurant seems to be what ridiculously wealthy stars like to do (the other one being sponsoring spirits as we mentioned earlier). Hearing the news that the Beach Boys are opening a restaurant in Las Vegas, I thought it would be fun to investigate what other stars also own their own restaurants. So here we go….

Today I found out that the Beach Boys want to open a restaurant called Good Vibration at a casino called Bally’s. Apparently, the restaurant will serve some form of surf fusion. I’m intrigued, I wonder how they’ll pull it off.

Operations Manager, Nick Raymond, said the restaurant will serve “a diverse menu and bar with affordable prices.” Non-coincidentally, the restaurant will open on the summer of 2012, or the Beach Boys’ 50th anniversary. Wow, it’s already been fifty?! I wonder if when they realized they went around announcing their accomplishments to the world like Molly Shannon on a Saturday Night Live skit (if you watch the video, and I highly recommend it, look at the girl on the far left when the girls enter at around 4:30, you’ll see a moment of awkwardness that only comes with live performances).

With all these celebrities coming out with their own restaurants, I wonder which ones are worth the money and which ones should be ignored. What do you think? Have you ever been to any of these? Do you have a memorable story to tell about it? Let us know in the comment section!
